> Would you prefer to build your application using Make, Scons, Waf, CMake, QMake, Tup, Bash scripts, Maven, Gradle, Ant, Buck, or something else? The build tool question is _totally_ solved, right? :)

Yes.

I've worked with CMake, Gradle, Maven, Ant, with webpack, makefiles, and the entire rest. And you know what? I went back to ES5, just because it's easier than fighting the JS environment. Comparing your average build.gradle with a webpack config is downright insane.

Why does the web environment have to be so much more complicated than the native world? The web could be so much more powerful if they'd study history, and learn from it.

With what webpack config though?

Half the problem with the web stack is inexperienced people making things way more complicated than they need to be. A minimal webpack.config is pretty damn simple.
